Patching A Hole In Metal Flyscreens

No matter how you decide to repair holes in your screens, the patch will show. The patch, however, will keep out insects and will do until you have time to replace the whole screen.

From a spare piece of screening cut a piece which will cover the hole at least 25mm on all sides. Unravel a long piece of screen wire or several pieces and lace it through the patch and screen to keep the patch in place.

or

Cut a patch large enough to cover the hole with about 40mm around all sides and unravel all sides of the patch about 12mm. Bend the ends of the wire 90 degrees to the patch and push them through the screen covering the hole. Then bend over the wires projecting through on the back side to hold the patch.
